My problem with this is -- how do you read such code out loud?
It could be...
"if diff, which we define as x - x_base, and g, which ....." etc.
That's good. It also makes it natural to expect only a simple name. One
can "define" a name, but assignment to a complex left-side expression is
not definition (binding).
